Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Published
A complete late Neolithic oblique flint arrowhead (about 2500-2100 BC). This arrowhead is sub-triangular in plan and one barb is noticeably longer than the other, one having a rounded end and the longest edge curves outwards and continues downwards to form a barb. The base curves inwards. Invasive, scaled and sub-parallel, low-angle retouch along the short side and base of both faces. The retouch is generally finer around the edges than in the centre. It is medium and light grey including patches of buff coloured cortex. See Butler's Prehistoric Flintwork, page 161. Length: 31.6m…

Object type: ARROWHEAD
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Rotherham
Workflow stage: Published
A probable late Neolithic oblique flint arrowhead (about 2500-2100 BC). This arrowhead is sub-triangular in plan and one barb is noticeably longer than the other; one having a rounded end and the longest edge curves outwards and continues downwards and the base curves inwards. The barbs and pointed end are not present. The less concave edge includes semi-abrupt retouching and a blunted edge. This may suggest that it was used as a scraper. It is white speckled with medium grey. See Butler's Prehistoric Flintwork, page 161. Length: 25.3mm; Width: 22.1mm; Thickness: 5mm; Weight: 3.07g

Object type: AXE
Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Published
A Neolithic flint axe which has been shaped by flaking. It is an axe with a thin tapering butt, classified by Manby as an A3 type. There is surviving cortex on one face at the butt end. It is an irregular pointed oval in section and is an elongated ovoid shape in plan. The butt tapers to a point but remains nearly as thick as the centre of the axe. The cutting edge is slightly pointed in plan and has been sharpened with some smaller removals. The flint is patinated and is white with large tan blotches. The flaking causes the median margin of the axes to be wavy or scalloped along the …
